Ohio is the WHAT state?

[L Sass]

That's right - the BUCKEYE state. 12 dozen of Lorrie's buckeyes made and rolled. Tomorrow I'll do the chocolate dipping. And since I'm training for my competition, you KNOW I can't eat them (hey - for the first time ever I think, I didn't even lick the bowl!) So I will happily bring them along and share with any who so desire. See you next week.

<googling Buckeyes> You mention chocolate, so they must be good!

HeeHee - they're done - and off to the freezer till next week. Thanks Jodi. Last year I brought coffee mugs from "the Ohio girls" each filled with 6 buckeyes. and gave one to Cathe and one to Nancy. Little, sweet, powerhouse Nancy. About 5 minutes after I gave it to her, she came and found me and said how good the buckeyes were. I asked "oh - you tried one already" to which she said "no, I tried them ALL!"

As and avid baker and sweets eater, which was VERY evident this past weekend while shopping for clothes for the Road Trip, those Buckeyes sound delicious!

I remember -- you brought those to the RT last year!! Yum!!!

If they are as wonderful as you say, maybe you could post the recipe?
Also, then, the people who don't get to taste yours, can make the cookies(is that what they are?) themselves!

Pretty please?

thank you!

 

[jodijodi]

Here you go....Lorrie posted the recipe after last year's RT. They are so good!

Remember me pushing these cookies at you all? I was doing that because, as I told Nancy, if they stick around me, then they really do "stick around me" and that's not a good thing. HA! So here you go:

Lorrie's Buckeyes

2 sticks butter, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix all ingredients together and roll into bite sized balls. Refrigerate until set. Meanwhile, melt 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips and1/2 cup parafin wax in double boiler. Dip the tops of the balls into chocolate mixture for the buckeye appearance.

Enjoy.

Hi Linda - I think I did post the recipe after last year's RT because I had a lot of folks asking. Many people make these with just peanut butter and powdered sugar which I think is way too sweet. But I have a bunch to bring.

ETA: thanks Jodi - we posted at the same time. I thought I did that.

 

[jodijodi]

Lorrie, I think we were posting at the same time....I copied your recipe from last year above.

Can't wait to see you...just a few more days!!

edit: and we were posting AGAIN at the same time, LOL.

 

[L Sass]

HeeeHeee - must mean great minds think alike?? I know - only a few more days! I need to make my packing list.

Thanks Lorrie and Jodi (great minds which think alike)!
If your samples dissappear at the RT and I don't get one, then I will be able to make these at home!

I noticed it had 2 sticks of butter -- WOW!! That must mean they really taste yummy!

thanks again!

Parafin wax?

Is there something else you can use instead of wax? I've never used parafin wax in a recipe.
